• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OC200 - Storage object type & missing from SOC type definition table ?

  The SAP error message OC200 indicates that a specific storage object type is missing from the SOC (Storage Object Class) type definition table. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) or Inventory Management modules, where storage object types are defined for managing inventory and warehouse processes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The storage object type referenced in the error message has not been defined in the system. This could be due to a configuration oversight during the setup of the warehouse or inventory management system.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system (e.g., from a development to a production environment), the transport might not have included the necessary definitions for the storage object type.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements that reference a storage object type that has not been properly defined, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SPRO to access the SAP Reference IMG.

  Verify that the storage object type in question is defined in the SOC type definition table. This can usually be found under the path: 
  
  Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Warehouse Management System -> Define Storage Object Types.
  
  
  If it is missing, you will need to create a new entry for the storage object type.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the configuration was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the relevant objects were included in the transport request.

  Custom Development Review:
  
  If there are custom programs or enhancements that reference the storage object type, review the code to ensure that it is referencing the correct and existing storage object types.
